Authors: Lin Hou, M.D. et al Anesthesiology February 2023. Background Radial artery cannulation in young children is challenging. Here, we invented a single-operator laser-assisted ultrasound-guidance system projecting the path of the target artery on the skin surface and hypothesized that this system would improve the first-attempt success rate of radial arterial cannulation in young pediatric […]

To the Editor: We read with great interest the review paper by Walsh et al. published recently in Anesthesiology, which concluded that utilizing low tidal volume settings in non–acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) intensive care unit (ICU) or thoracic surgery patients did not change clinical outcomes. Although the Acute […]

Read MoreAuthors: Pieter Simons, M.D. et al Anesthesiology March 2023, Vol. 138, 249–263. Background Oliceridine is a G protein–biased µ-opioid, a drug class that is associated with less respiratory depression than nonbiased opioids, such as morphine. The authors quantified the respiratory effects of oliceridine and morphine in elderly volunteers. The authors hypothesized that these opioids differ in […]
Read MoreAuthors: Hyunyoung Joo, M.D. et al Anesthesiology March 2023, Vol. 138, 241–248. Background Electromyography has advantages over mechanomyography and acceleromyography. Previously, agreement of the train-of-four counts between acceleromyography and electromyography was found to be fair. The objective of this study was to assess the agreement of posttetanic count including agreement of neuromuscular blockade status (intense block, […]
Read MoreAuthor: Avery Hurt Practical Pain Management Vol 23 Issue 1 Feb 2023 Despite an alarming increase in opioid addiction over the past decade, access to treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) is still limited. Medications including methadone, naltrexone, and buprenorphine have proved beneficial for OUD treatment, however, fewer than 30% of people who need treatment […]
Read MoreAuthors: Kirby D. Gong, M.S.E. et al Anesthesiology March 2023, Vol. 138, 299–311. Background Delirium poses significant risks to patients, but countermeasures can be taken to mitigate negative outcomes. Accurately forecasting delirium in intensive care unit (ICU) patients could guide proactive intervention. Our primary objective was to predict ICU delirium by applying machine learning to clinical […]
